többlista

Többlista is a traditional dish originating from the Nordic region, particularly popular in Sweden. It is a hearty and comforting meal, often served during colder months. The dish primarily consists of layers of thinly sliced potatoes and pickled herring, baked together in a creamy sauce.

The potatoes are typically parboiled before being layered in a baking dish. Between the potato layers, pieces of pickled herring, often with dill and onion, are distributed. A sauce made from cream, milk, and sometimes a touch of flour or egg is then poured over the ingredients. This mixture is baked in the oven until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbling and golden brown on top.

Többlista is known for its savory and slightly tangy flavor profile, a result of the pickled herring and the creamy sauce. It is commonly served as a main course, often accompanied by boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, or a fresh green salad. Variations exist, with some recipes including leeks, carrots, or different types of pickled fish. It is considered a classic example of Swedish home cooking, valued for its simplicity and satisfying taste.
